Hey guys.

I know the motor limit of the RS is 5.5, but what about in a 4wd buggy? We all know 4wd buggy taxes an esc more than any other class, so I'm curious if in that case, the esc would overheat with a 5.5 (assuming an air temp of something average, around 21c)? If it will, at what turn motor does it become safe again to run in a 4wd?


How much does air temp affect the esc temp? Say it's 21c out, and the esc is running at 60c. If the air temp raises to 32, will the esc's temp raise the same amount, to 71c?

One last thing, I know the RSs are great escs, but I live where it gets to 46c+ in the summer. At that temp, I think even an rs pro may overheat, what can I do to keep its temp down? Should I run a smaller pinion, is it worth it to thermal glue a heatsink to the esc and attach a fan, etc?

Thanks
Chris
